I've had good luck with TSC. We have a couple nearby and also had Quality Farms near each one. Prices were always comparable between the two. My biggest gripe about our TSC is being resolved: The store is way too small and congested. Solution: They are moving into the vacated Quality Farm building with more than double the space /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

My local TSC 5 miles away runs through managers like water. They don't seem to know much BUT I made befriended a ritred farmer a couple years ago that works the stock room so I go to him if I need something or can't find anything or have to order. He can run rings around the young managers. I picked up my 6' KK box blade last year for less that QF&F.

Our local QF&F (12 miles away for me) is converting to TSC and it will be bigger. It will be interesting to see how they are when they open.

I just purchased a Fimco 3pt 55gal Sprayer with boom from TSC here in Indiana for $349 - I thought that was pretty good - they had an older model right next to it for $429 - I could not figure out why, but that is the cheapest I have seen for that type of set up.

I would say:

It is better to have a TSC with poor staff, than no TSC.

TSC is just like most of the rest of us.......sometimes we just need a little competition to get the best out of us.

they need a good solid customer service training program, a little more versatility with their products, they need to get into carrying some Kubota inventory, they need to offer an upgraded tractor implement line.....all of these I'm sure would cost the customer in terms of value and price of course.

On the plus side, they're AVAILABLE with convenient store hours. They carry a lot of tractor items that can't be found other places locally.AND...... You get to listen to some good George Strait music while you're shopping.

My main complaint is you go into the store after researching and deciding on what you want and WHY you want it.....and you ask someone and they try to tell you something that you just KNOW is not right. Sometimes I'd rather have someone just say I don't know rather than try to act like they do. to impress the customer. Also, i've never seen the manager of my local store actually in the building. Seems like they kind of 'under-schedule' employees also.
I have waited 30 minutes to get some towing chain cut before. And I've sat outside waiting to get an implement loaded on truck for about same.
just need some competition and they'll be fine.

Harv: Don't they have a TSC on Rodeo Drive? I'm shocked! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

If they did, that would still make it an 800 mile round trip for me. /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Just as well. Sounds like the kind of store I just couldn't walk out empty-handed from.

I've been sort of holding off on getting a box blade until TSC opens in my area (three weeks or so as far as I know). Does anyone know the price of their 5' box blade? A local dealer here is supposed to be getting in a shipment of Leinbach equipment soon and he has priced their 5' box blade at $325. If his shipment comes in first, I'm wondering if I should pick one up, or wait for TSC to open.

My local TSC has 5' box blades priced at $300 and 5' brush hogs priced at $549 . On another thread, John Miller III indicated the brush hogs were $499 at TSC where he is. I'd assume a comparable difference on brush hogs. Additionally he further stated that he anticipates a 5%-10% discount off those prices in conjunction with Grand Opening/Re-Opening Sales at TSC's in the coming weeks.

Hi Gary,

In our area, the past couple years @ Central Tractor and then Quality Farm & Family... the Howse and later KingKutter rotary cutters were basically sold for $499. - 5 ft., and $489. - 4 ft....

Now... that they are bankrupt.../w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif and TSC has taken over many of their former locations... and since TSC appears to be the only game in town... and since a few years have passed... I am not surprised of the price increase to $549. (actually, still a very good value considering your other choices {for this performance level}...)

Using only logic here... (sometimes gets you in trouble.../w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif), I will assume after TSC gets the bulk of the new TSC locations up and running... I would expect a "National" splash of some sort of "Grand Opening Specials"... basically saying...Hey... everybody... these stores are back in business... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
